The first student service squad of the Polytechnic University "Altair" has once again set off to conquer the south of Russia. This is already the eighth working season for the guys. The fighters and candidates work in the federal territory "Sirius", where they were in 2021, 2022 and 2023. But this summer they found themselves in an unexpected place – the amusement park "Sochi Park".

Sochi Park opened in 2014 as the first theme park in Russia and an alternative to Disneyland. The park is imbued with the atmosphere of Russian folk tales and consists of several theme zones where fairy tale characters meet: Baba Yaga, Koschei, the Sea Princess, the Learned Cat and their friends.

The fighters and candidates work as amusement ride controllers, amusement restaurant operators, photo service sales clerks, souvenir shops, and fast food outlets. There is even a position of arcade game operator assistant, and all of this is very different from the usual positions of maids, waiters, housekeepers, and kitchen workers for the squad. But still, every day the guys try to provide quality service and perform their duties well.

"In our fourth year, we went to work at Sochi Park. It's great because the work of a maid is monotonous, it's interesting to try something new," said former detachment commissioner Irina Iskortseva. "But for those who came for their first season, I think it's also better than working in a hotel, because you feel like an adult, full-fledged employee: you open the point yourself, communicate with guests, solve problems, close the shift. And I think it's really cool for beginners, especially for those who are working for the first time in their life. It's responsibility and valuable experience working with people."

Half of the work season is already behind us. During this time, the student service team "Altair" managed to gain unique experience and learn a lot from scratch. The students attentively serve guests and try to make their summer trip to "Sochi Park" as pleasant and eventful as possible.
